Answer 5

a woman has a lot of rights and advantages when she marries a muslim man...so is not good for a woman to compromise all those...

and as muslims we should prevent the corruption of the society,so if muslim women start marrying non muslims then all that knowlege and all those rights that islam has given us would be lost

and also for the education of the children...it would be compromised if the man is not muslim

I wouldnt marry a non muslim...I would lose a lot

Most likely for the same reason as why Christians aren't supposed to marry outside their religion. It would mean that the believer would be open to temptation to draw away from his/her religion and fall into atheism or even another religion.

Answer 9

same as critical thinker

Answer 10

The children take the fathers faith & name.

A man can marry non muslim because his children will be muslim. and therefore, for the sake of islam, because you want the religion to grow.

Answer 11

Its part of the doctrine of JIHAD.

There are several ways Muslims meet their duty of Jihad. The Quran says:

Quran 8:39 “and fight with them until...religion should be only for allah" http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/008.q...

However, "fighting" unbelievers isnt the only way to force Islam upon the whole of the world and make all religion "only for Allah". Ending non-muslim bloodlines, and producing superior breeding rates is another aspect of helping Islam to dominate the world.

Ending non-muslim bloodlines can be achieved by marrying non-muslim woman and forcing the children to be muslim. Of course, in order for this doctrine to work, you must have complete control of your own woman-stock. In other words, muslim woman must be strictly prohibited from ever marrying and non-muslim and of course, they are.

Answer 12

In the Koran, there is no mention of neither men or nor women not being able to marry someone of another religion. It does however say that you should marry your 'muslim fellow' to someone who's religion and morals that are pleasing to you... very loosely translated. In other areas of the Koran however, it does mention to marry muslim men to muslim women. But there is nothing that says that a woman can't but a man can... if I'm making any sense. Those 'interpretations' are outside of the Koran, because, historically, Muslims could not understand what the Koran was trying to say, so they would ask the prophet for further clarification. The prophets clarifications were written down and quoted in what Muslims call "the hadeeth".. translated = quotations. The truth is, if you're looking at the Koran as an instrument of God in its' purest form... Mulsim men AND women can marry anyone they like... I think taking history into consideration, the idea is that they marry someone with the belief that there is only ONE God. So if a Christian or Jew believed that, TECHNICALLY, they should be OK to marry them. But you see today's Muslims... and oooooooh noooooo, that will not do! I think they need to get over themselves personally, and read hte Koran properly first.

Just read some others' answers about how the religion is passed on through the father... well TECHNICALLY, and again if we're ONLY reading the Koran, it's BOTH parents that pass down the religion. Islam is not a patriarchical or matriarchal religion... the Arab culture however, IS a patriarchal society, and so in this case, it is culture that dictated that children inherit the father's religion, and it's not the religion itself. It is SO clear in the Koran that it's BOTH parents who decide whether their children will grow upm Muslim or not.

Answer 13

its not acceptable for a man to marry any non muslim she has to be jewish or christian as they are the only acceptable religions. the reason is that  islam judaism and christianity are the 3 religions of the "book" ie they use the bible/quran/jewish equivalent and all are very similar in content .   I guess a woman cant marry a non muslim  because the children always take the fathers religion in muslim culture and they wouldnt want the children of a muslim woman having a non muslim fathers religion, this is of course not the case if the father is the muslim of the couple.  hope this helps a bit
